Recognized by the World Golf Teachers Federation as one of the top 60 teachers in the world, Dave turned professional in 1983 and worked in the small town of Lacombe, Alberta. The following year, he moved on to Red Deer Golf & Country Club, where he began teaching extensively, which he found to be his passion. After 15 years as a club professional and more than seven years as a touring professional, Dave joined the USGTF and CGTF and has not looked back.

Dave’s Philosophy: “Golf is a game of position, as is the golf swing. You must have a solid foundation (grip, stance, posture, and balance) in place. Once that’s in place, we can build the hitting area, using the railroad track and 1/2 swing (9 o’clock to 3 o’clock) to understand where the club must be to hit the ball in a straight line. Next we go to the finish position in perfect balance, and once these three criteria are met, we can deal with the power.” Dave’s method of teaching is to build the golf swing from the ground up. “Without basic fundamentals in place, there is nothing.”

Among Dave’s many strengths are exceptional communication skills and outstanding interpersonal skills. He has a proven teaching method and over 20 years of experience in both business and teaching. Along with his true passion for the game, he brings experience, talent, and dedication.
